WLS Top 40 for March 11, 1968-- Part 4: "Green Light"
25. END OF OUR ROAD-- Gladys Knight #15 "The End of Our Road" 2:14 of great Soul. I wasn't familiar with the name. Kind of reminds me of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine."
24. MEN ARE GETTING SCARCE-- Joe Tex #33 Born Joseph Arrington, Jr. Never heard of this song before. Kind of a "Skinny Legs and All" and he even runs into her in this song.
23. YOUNG GIRL-- Union Gap #2 Gary Puckett and the Union Gap Born in Hibbing, Minnesota. This song could get you in jail.
22. GREEN LIGHT-- American Breed #39 Interracial group from Cicero, a suburb of Chicago. WLS was noted for playing a lot of songs by Chicago bands. Some of the members later became Rufus. 2:14 of great horn pop.
21. THE MIGHTY QUINN-- Manfred Mann #10 "Mighty Quinn (Quinn the Eskimo)" English group formed in 1964. I always thought it was a made up name, but Manfred Mann is the name of one of the members. Who would name a boy with last name Mann, Manfred? Hey, Man, Man?
Name That Tune (from the above songs): "My Love For You Is Way Out Of Line." Answer below: RoadDog
"Young Girl"
